Aussies love the Beatles on Spotify – Especially at 10am

The Beatles held out for a long time before releasing their music digitally, and then even longer before making it available to stream on services like Apple Music or Spotify.  But now, just 100 days into this “streaming revolution” the data is in and the fab-four are as popular as ever.

Since being available on Spotify on Christmas Eve last year, the Beatles catalog has been snapped up and added to playlists as if they were the hottest new thing today.
